There is an effective answer to all of the above here; don’t patronize them. That goes for any fast “food” establishment as their offerings barely qualify as food. Vote with our wallets. I’d rather be hungry than eat what I know to be garbage, especially at the prices they are charging for it.

I understand that there are circumstances where if you want to eat at all, sacrifices must be made. To anyone in this category, I suggest downloading the (insert restaurant of choice) app. There is always a daily deal option for a good bit less than the menu board. A good example of this is at McDonald’s- any size coffee or iced coffee drink for .99, once per day. The little missus likes the iced coffee on occasion.

Last evening, Waze informs me it will take 45 minutes to get home due to an accident. I have my 6yo son with me and so to kill time, we pull into McDonalds. We go inside and it is a bit dirty. I discover that you can't talk to a human but rather have to order from a touch screen. I decide to have some fun. I got a double quarter pounder, but I added 4 patties and 4 slices of cheese. So I get this six patty monster and the bottom bun is soaked through. I couldn't of picked it up, so I go ask for a fork. I come back to the most disgusting delicousness I have had in a long time. Oh and those french fries are the best thing they sell in my opinion. I probably traded a couple of days of life for that burger.

I usually hit the Wendys by us. Better ingredients and the veggies on the burger seem way fresher.
